Guild Wars 2

The most common question from newcomers in WvW is: how do you leave?

I would like to answer: the same way as you entered, hit B key and then click leave WvW.

Suggestion
Remove Lions Arch Asura gates.

Add option in World vs World dialog (B key) to leave WvW. That way players can leave exactly the same way as they entered WvW.

The usual UI design rules apply: Disable (gray out) the leave WvW option while in combat. Add a tooltip to say so. The tooltip should also say which PvE map the player would return to.

PS.
Reconsider the dropdown menu for entering WvW in World vs World dialog.

I’d imagine a set of buttons for entering each map, the jumping puzzle and for leaving WvW would be more appropriate. Again the JP button is only available when your team holds a keep in EB, and the tooltip should tell that.

Those gates need to go for the primary reason that players use them for free travel to LA. While that in itself doesn’t sound bad, it mucks around with player queues and outmanned buffs for players that aren’t playing.

So add a gold sink to enter WvW, or remove the gates and make a “leave WvW” menu item similar to “leave the mists”.

This also helps reduce players that come to WvW to access the bank (via crafting station) or the vendors to pick up mining picks, etc.

Another solution: Just make a “free travel” button which takes you to LA.
